It has come to my wonderful attention, in my quest for sacred knowledge, that the
beautiful elucidations of
Edward Latch, whose critiques and publications are
contained within, have re-revealed the veiled mysteries of the ages, and
now with this website, all can witness as I have. When researching the cause of
past
cataclysms by impacts from celestial objects, I recovered these magnificent works of over
a century ago, and now, today,
here, I present them to the World, once again, as a witness of the secret of the
mystery that has blinded mankind's eyes for centuries. With Cornell
University Library
stating no copyright restrictions from this project, we go on. For it was told,
"that the gospel shall be preached in the
world unto all nations for a witness; and then shall the end be."

The world wide web is permitting me to preach
what is written, unto all nations for a witness. We, me and you, and all
those who have passed before us, find ourselves in the Fourth Age of
mankind. The "Fourth Horse" are we.
The
"Pale Rider" is "Death",
and rides our backs.
We find ourselves in the 7th Creative Day, during which the Most High rests from
his labors.
We
are living
in the last days of the "18th Epoch"; of the
"Grand Epoch";
during the "Pisonic Age" of the Four
Ages. The last race of man, known as the
"Pale Race"
of mankind, we are the last to
receive the transmission of iniquity as handed down through blood and
characteristics from our 'grancestors';
the "Gihonics", and unto them from the
"Hiddekelics"; and unto them from
the "Euphratics". Those being the past
three ages of mankind, prior to our "Pisonic Age". Our days were numbered
at ~7,860 years.

The journey begins, for you, for truth, and faith.
For no
other reference was used, for the following elucidation, other than the
King James Holy Bible, as issued by the American Bible Society, New
York, 1860. (Brevier, 12mo.)

"The Sacred Records clearly call for the existence of man—a chosen
instrumentality in God's great Purpose by Election—far beyond the
conventional six thousand years from the so-called Adam and progenitor
of the human family. If man did exist back of this Adam, and if the
Scriptures are given by inspiration, then the Scriptures will surely
harmonize in this particular also by giving man his proper place in the
history of the world. The Ages of Man once established, and the
instrumentality of man (see
Deut. vii. 6-14) once established, then the
wonders of God in his great Purpose will become manifest to hosts that
shall be "as the sand which is upon the sea
shore" for number; hence the indications are that every
point that is set or that shall be set upon a sure foundation by the
hand of true science will confirm Scriptural truth, and bear fruit that
will endure forever in the Kingdom of Righteousness."

6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the
LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto
himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you,
because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the
fewest of all people:

8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the
oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought
you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of
bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful
God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him
and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy
them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay
him to his face.

11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes,
and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these
judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall
keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto
thy fathers:

13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he
will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy
land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy
kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware
unto thy fathers to give thee.

14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be
male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.

....One Thousand Generations
a Time, Times, a Half Time, a Half Time....

The vail thrown over the Sacred Records is an undeniable proof of their
inspiration. The harmonious interpretations of the various types and
figures are not merely coincidences. Simple history, with a plain,
obvious moral, is not the proper interpretation of the Scriptures. No,
it cannot be; the evidences to the contrary are too palpable, the
inspiration is too manifest, the Master-mind which guides, dictates, and
governs all is too plainly indicated for any such view. The work from
Moses down has been progressive, and there has been no change in the
plans of the great work. By the death and resurrection of the Saviour
the redemption of man is an accomplished fact, and to him are the sheep
of the four folds gathered together. The measure of the iniquity of the
Amorites, "however," is not yet
full, but the time is rapidly approaching when "the dreadful day of the Lord" shall come, and the books
shall be opened, and the Ancient of days shall sit in judgment.

Read notes from Genesis ii. 10-14:

“And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from
thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

“The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole
land of Havilah, where there is gold;

“And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx
stone.

“And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that
compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

“And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth
toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.”

What does this allegory represent? It represents four independent
consecutive creations of men, and their ages or epochs; the eldest of
which (see Diagram 1) is the river
Euphrates, and which corresponds with the opening of the first seal in
the vision of St. John the Divine. The age is called the Euphratic age,
from the river Euphrates. It was peopled by a white race, as indicated
in Rev. vi. 1, 2; Lam. iv. 7;
Zech. vi. 3; Song of Sol. v. 10. The
white or Euphratic race was created about the year B.C. 29,789, and was
destroyed by volcanic eruption and earthquake about the year B.C.
21,414.

1st Age - Euphratic - The White Race29,789 B.C. - 21,414 B.C.

The river Hiddekel is representative of the Hiddekelic, or Second, race
and age, and it corresponds with the second seal of the vision of St.
John. The people of this age were red in color, as indicated in
Rev. vi.
3, 4; Lam. iv. 7; Zech. vi. 1;
Song of Sol. iv. 12-14; and, as a race,
is called the Hiddekelic, from the river Hiddekel. It was created about
the year B.C. 23,017, and perished by famine about the year B.C. 12,098.

2nd Age - Hiddekelic - The Red Race23,017 B.C. - 12,098 B.C.

The Third race and age is represented by the river Gihon, and it
corresponds with the opening of the third seal in the vision of St.
John. The color of this race was black, as indicated in
Rev. vi. 5, 6;
Lam. iv. 7; Zech. vi. 2;
Song of Sol. i. 5, 6. It is called the Gihonic
race, from the river Gihon, which also came out of the garden of Eden.
It was created about the year B.C. 13,465, and was swept away by the
great deluge of Noah about the year B.C. 2241.

3rd Age - Gihonic - The Black Race13,465 B.C. - 2241 B.C.

The Fourth race and age is represented by the river Pison, and it
corresponds with the fourth seal of the vision of St. John. The
distinctive color of this race —which is that of the present day— is
pale (see Rev. vi. 7, 8). It was created
about the year B.C. 3897, and is called the Pisonic or Pale race. Thus
the rivers of Eden are emblematic of four consecutive ages of men.

4th Age - Pisonic - The Pale Race3897 B.C. - 3963 A.D.

Moreover, by the Scriptures, Assyria is emblematic of the First or
Euphratic age; the east, of the Second or Hiddekelic age; and the south
indicates the Third or Gihonic age; consequently the east of Assyria is
emblematic of the Hiddekelic age, while Ethiopia, which lies to the
south of Eden, also indicates the Gihonic age; which leaves the Fourth
or Pisonic age, with its mineral wealth and fossil substance, to the
west; therefore, in the figure of the rivers of Eden, the Four Ages of
Man are represented by the terms north, east, south, and west, —Assyria
relating to the north.

It is manifest that three of these ages are under the veil, but, their
existence having been indicated by type and figure, the history of the
Fourth age is taken up, and set forth, filled with, or as allegory
bearing upon, the whole four.

In Diagram 1, a, a
indicate the four heads of the river of Eden (see
also Ps. xlvi. 4); b, b
indicate the first four seals of the vision of St. John (see
Rev. vi. 1-8); c, c
indicate the four races of men of Adam’s race, together with their
respective color, and the order of their creation;
d, d also
indicate the Four Ages through the four cardinal points of the compass;
e, e indicate
the names of the Four Ages of Man; f,
f indicate the Four Ages as four countries.

And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram;
and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

13And he said unto Abram, Know
of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a landthat
is not theirs, and shall
serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

14And also that nation, whom
they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come
out with great substance.

15And thou shalt go to thy
fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

16But in the fourth generation
they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amoritesis not
yet full.

17And it came to pass, that,
when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking
furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

Read more notes from Genesis xv:

In the sixteenth verse it is stated, "But in
the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of
the Amorites is not yet full." The term
"they" seems to
refer to the entire Seed of Abram, the inheritance spoken of above, the
four creations, that they all should come again in the fourth
generation, all from the river Euphrates to the river Pison. The fourth
generation is the generation of Adam, the fourth creation, and during
this generation all who have passed to the valley of the shadow of death
shall return and be redeemed. But what time in the fourth generation
they shall come is not stated, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not
yet full. The inference is that they will come after the expiration of
the four hundred years of affliction. The return of those of the past
strongly foreshadows the end of all flesh as coming in this generation.
It may be asked why the end is stayed that iniquity may be full? It is
to insure the entire and complete overthrow of evil.

Iniquity and its
whereabouts becomes a consideration of the greatest importance in the
grand work of the overthrow. The law of iniquity existed when the first
man fell, and in consequence thereof the iniquity of the first
transgressor fell upon his son, and the iniquity of the son fell upon
his son; the iniquity of each individual generation fell upon the next;
the iniquity of one creation fell upon the next creation; the iniquity
of Euphrates fell upon Hiddekel; the iniquity of Hiddekel fell upon
Gihon; the iniquity of Gihon fell upon Pison; and the iniquity of the
whole fell upon whom? Why, it fell upon him to whom the whole was given,
upon him who redeemed the whole, upon him who suffered for the whole.
Can it be wondered at that "a horror of great
darkness fell upon him"? Is it possible to realize the
extent of this burden? Where could another be found to assume it? Is it
not enough to make the world tremble? Was not the day in which this
terrible trial was inaugurated the commencement of the grandest epoch in
all our known or imagined history? There in array were the hosts of
heaven in all the grandeur of their eternal magnificence; there the
powers of darkness, grouped in eager expectation, awaited the coming of
one upon whose success or failure depended the fate of their kingdom.
These all awaited and watched the advent. But where was man while such
momentous events were transpiring? He knows nothing of them; the
ploughman ploughs in unconcern, the reaper reaps, the sun goes down in
peace, and he forgets himself in slumber. Blind to all, the grand
struggle for his redemption is inaugurated, progresses, and he perceives
it not, but it was seen of angels.

In accordance, therefore, with the
law, the iniquity of the Gihons fell upon Adam's race. Cain, after he
had slain his brother, went into the land of Nod, on the east of Eden,
and dwelt there. It is quite probable that he took a wife of the Gihons,
and the iniquity of that race was at once transmitted to the race of
Adam. But later, the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and
they bare children to them. Here it is stated plainly enough that the
two races were intermingled; and, without referring to Cain, it is seen
how the iniquity of one generation of men was handed down to another. As
progress is made, the existence of the law of iniquity will become more
and more manifest.

Sufferings from iniquity, hereditary taints and defects arising from it,
are different from iniquity itself. These may die out with families; but
iniquity does not die out with families. It is handed down and
accumulates until its final destruction, and this final destruction is
accomplished by the Seed of Abram, who took the entire burden upon
himself; adding nothing thereto, he came to destroy it.

How quickly Noah, upon whom the iniquity of the previous creations
rested, added to the mass, notwithstanding the special benefits he had
received, is shown where he lay in his tent insensible and overcome with
wine. If the most righteous of men thus add to the mass, it is perfectly
evident that man in his fallen state cannot destroy it, and yet one must
come as man to overthrow it and accomplish its destruction.

From all this it can be seen that the mission of the Messiah is to
destroy evil; and to do this, that he must suffer as man has suffered;
that he must be tempted in all things as man has been tempted, lest one
should say he did not suffer as I suffered, or he was not tempted as I
was tempted. Methuselah, who may have perished in the flood, might say,
"If he had lived as many years as I lived, he
might have perished in a flood also;" but did not the
Messiah suffer temptation as long as Methuselah? It seems almost beyond
question that he did, and much longer, and that the struggle was for a
longer period than the lifetime of the longest lived of the four
creations.

The duration of the struggle has, however, been expressed by
the prophet Daniel in Dan. ix. 26, as follows:"And after
threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself."
The sixty-two weeks of Daniel involve the time from the day Melchizedek
brought forth the bread and wine until the time of our Lord and Saviour,
Jesus Christ, who is one and the same with the Seed, the Messiah. The
great work of redemption commences in the beginning of the Bible, not in
the end of it. The harmony of the sacred writings is perfect; the
inspiration clear; and they are filled with the grandest poetry and
imagery conceivable.

"And God blessed them, and God said unto them.
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and
over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth."

By the above verses man was created and brought forth as a governing
creature, but where it is stated, let them have dominion over every
living thing that moveth upon the earth, the endowment is one of
exceedingly great magnitude. If man is invested with this wonderful
power, where are the visible evidences of its fruit? Are there none? Is
existing man a governing creature in the full sense expressed by the
text, or is he not? It is evident that he is not, and if not, wherein
lies the essence of the command? The essence lies hidden under a great
veil which enshrouds much of the Sacred Writings; but it will become
manifest by the lifting of the veil that there is a man
"who shall rule all nations with a rod of
iron," and he shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.''
This man was brought forth before Adam dwelt upon the earth; this man
will be recognizable by the magnitude of his endowments, by the
greatness of his power, and by his wonderful works; and with these he
will pierce the veil of mystery at every step, and throw aside the
covering which conceals the everlasting jewels from the light.

The Scriptures have
repeatedly called attention to the existence of the vail, and the dark
sayings and parables with which they are clothed. If this fact be not
kept in mind continually, the solution of the Scriptures will become
almost wholly of a moral nature. The strength of these writings,
therefore, is made manifest by a proper interpretation of its parables,
many of which have been solved in the years past, and given forth to the
world for its guidance and instruction.
